That's the reaction from Chargers fans, and why not? His Broncos beat the Chargers, 30-23, to complete a season sweep, plopping the Chargers so far behind division-leading Denver they need binoculars to see its gaudy blue and orange work duds.

Well there's that, and Peyton's last name.

But the Chargers have bigger problems than Peyton, Eli or even Archie Manning. They're playing like Jugheads, and that's an issue.

But in the Broncos' locker room, it's all smiles and back slaps. When the sun set Sunday over the Rockies, Manning had toasted another victory, which came with a milestone: his 148th triumph ties his boss, John Elway, for second-most in NFL history.

“All those wins are team wins, and every player probably has that record,'' Manning said.

Wonder what Chargers general manager A. J. Smith thought of Manning? Hard to say as he wasn't spotted near the team bus. But in May, he told the U-T:

“The Broncos are led by one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history,'' he said, and the wily guy is known to have a sarcastic twist. “I just hope the Broncos don’t run away with the division and leave the rest of us behind in the dust.”

Manning was the Broncos' front man, throwing for three touchdowns and 270 yards in directing Denver to its fifth consecutive victory. The Chargers' ticket is punched the opposite direction, losers of two straight and five of six.

But Manning and coach John Fox weren't anticipating a confetti shower, despite their three-game lead over the Chargers becoming four with the tiebreaker.

“In this league, you're two games away from disaster,'' Fox said. “All that we're doing is looking one week at a time and if we continue to win, when the season's over, we'll know.''

There's no mystery that Manning has been Manning. He's performing like the four-time MPV he is, and not the 36-year-old with as many neck surgeries (four) as the Chargers have wins.

“This is the first time I've played a part of this division rivalry, but it's a healthy rivalry,'' he said. “There are no easy wins. It's tough to beat a good football team.''

The Chargers take the compliment, knowing that and $2 gets a cup of coffee. But not much more Sunday, with Manning scanning the field and seldom not locating the right receiver. Nine different Broncos had catches, and that's no accident.

“That is what it is all about –- Peyton finding every guy,'' said Denver's Eric Decker, who had a touchdown reception. “That is what he has done all season and it is fun when everyone is involved and the team wins.''

Although the locals were grumbling when the Broncos punted on their first series. They've been spoiled watching Manning torture defenses, and haven't we seen that before?

“I guess it's a good thing when a three-and-out is shocking or surprising to y'all,'' he said. “It means we're doing something well, but this was a good defense we were playing against.

“So we were prepared –- it was going to be a four-quarter, 60-minute game, and those guys have a lot of pride over there.''

And Manning has plenty left, proving it by the Broncos giving the Chargers the season-series broom for the first time since 2005.
